There’s nothing better on warm summer days than a new dress, messy hair, and bare feet. Well maybe the root beer popsicle she ate afterward.
The dress is from my mom’s pattern stash that she let me borrow, New Look 6257. It’s actually an infant size dress pattern so I cut it out as a large, took the tiniest seem allowance I could, and lengthened the skirt about 4 inches and ended up with a size 4. I might have to dig up more baby patterns I’ve saved and never got around to sewing and see what I can come up with for the wee one who’s not so wee anymore. She’s going to be 4 next month!
Most of the time patterns frustrate the crud out of me so I don’t use them but this one went together really quickly and came out just as I was hoping it would. It looks exactly like I thought it would. I love it when that happens.
Earlier last month I inherited a new to me couch from my grandmother that I can’t wait to recover, when I learn how and find the right fabric anyway. In about 12 years it might actually get done. I’m not very good at the whole décor thing or getting motivated to do something about it. Not something that’s ever really been a favorite thing of mine. The fanciest I get is making new pillow covers every once in a while which I did a few weeks ago (for our other gray couch) to brighten up our living room. I was trying a tiny bit to care. I laughed when I saw this picture of Kennedy. The kids picked up the living room for me and threw all the pink pillows on the pink couch in Kennedy’s favorite spot. She’s camouflaged to my couch!
How’s that for décor? It moves and changes all the time ;). Have a great Monday!
